The leaves on my mature apricot tree are all curled [lengthwise].  They are not wilted, and they do not have the reddish spots I see in pictures of peach tree leaf curl.  They do have some small yellow spots, but not a lot of them.  A nearby neighbor's apricot tree died over the winter.  Is mine endangered?  Is there something I should be doing?

Expert Response
From the pictures that you sent I cannot tell what might be wrong. Were there any herbicide applications made near the tree? Is there a possibility that the tree is planted too deeply? The root flare should be at soil level. Is there a compaction problem? It looks like there is concrete or some type of walk way near the tree. Have the tree been blooming and bearing fruit normally?
